that's the last time i yell anything out of a megaphone while riding my high horse

So it got me. That stupid cold/flu thing going around that just about everyone (and their mother) has. I was all smug, riding around on my high horse, loudly yelling through my megaphone "FLU SHOTS ARE STUPID, PEOPLE! They don't work!" And I was really proud of myself for not getting sick - I'm always the first one to get sick.

Well, joke's on me because here I sit, sick as a dog. Do dogs really get sick that bad - where does this expression come from? I think sickness leads to clouded judgement which leads to pondering such silly questions. Darn you, cold/flu bug thing.

I am finally getting the last boxes that still sit on my floor put away and broken down - between the excessive naps I've been taking, which means it's a wonder that anything is getting done. I also had the cable guy come and install cable on my 1985 10-inch box tv, because as the cable company claims - it's cheaper for me to have both internet AND cable as opposed to just the internet. And can I tell you something kind of weird? I'm actually kind of bummed that there is a working tv with free hbo, because quite frankly, I was enjoying my tv-less life. It was quieter, more peaceful. Not to mention, I need binoculars to see anything on that tv from across the room - that thing is dang small.
